If you think Project Fi is expensive, you will be shocked by the rates of other carriers. Fi is trying to disrupt phone carriers through cheap pricing and transparent billing.
I have been experimenting with Fi and I think it is good but has some significant drawbacks. I am about ready to cancel my Verizon service to go all in with Fi, but a major factor is the fact that I'm going back to school and will be counting pennies. Verizon's 3GB plan is attractively priced, but that significantly better service is still double what I pay on Fi in a typical month.
The Fi service is fine in metro Boston, but on a recent trip to parts of rural AZ I was without service for long stretches. Another downside with Fi is that I don't seem to be able to talk on the phone and get data service at the same time.
